Credit for graduate-level courses taken elsewhere may be accepted toward the master of philosophy degree under the conditions outlined under Transfer of Credit in the description of Ph.D. requirements. It is a special requirement for the master of philosophy degree, however, that in at least one-quarter of the courses for which transfer of credit is desired the student must have earned a grade of A or its equivalent. Further restrictions concerning the transfer of credit may be found in the Academic Policies and Procedures chapter.
